Yesterday, CNN published this story. Trump's microphone was cutting in and out throughout the debate. I cannot imagine how this can happen...Howlin' Steve ThomasBlacks are Responsible for Their Own Problemstag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00d8341ccad453ef01b8d222c056970c2016-09-29T01:59:05-04:002016-09-29T01:59:05-04:00Black Lives Matter is a rent-a-mob of the Democratic Party, organized, funded and controlled at the highest levels of the Obama administration.
